Nara Organics has recalled its organic baby formula sold at Target stores and online due to a multistate outbreak of infant botulism. Federal authorities report that three babies became ill in California, Pennsylvania and Washington in April and May after consuming the formula. Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by bacteria that produce a toxin in the gut. Symptoms include constipation and breathing problems. The FDA says Nara Organics formula makes up less than 1% of U.S. infant formula sales, so there are no shortage concerns. People are urged to stop using the product immediately.

While some fear the ban will hurt the city's longtime establishments, others say it could ultimately enhance the city's slices and bagels. The legislation is awaiting Gov. Kathy Hochul's signature.
